Physical fitness is one of the aspects of total fitness. Physical fitness is not only one of the most important keys to a healthy body, but also the basis of dynamics and creative activity. Fitness is active not passive because from birth to death and from cradle to grave yard and individual is an active organism. One point of consensus is that physical fitness is a desirable quality which one cannot afford to neglect. Physical fitness is a fundamental importance to all human beings. A man cannot move even an inch without proper physical fitness. Many prominent people in the field of medicine and in other fields have spoken and written about the need for exercise to maintain on organically sound body from birth to old age. Functioning of the body requires energy, which depends on the ability of the heart, lungs and blood vessels to process oxygen and deliver it to the muscles, where it becomes the fuel for energy. Age is no bar for keeping oneself fit. To an older person, it inlght be the feeling of youthful vigor, to a stenographer it is the ability to type for eight hours at a stretch without developing aching shoulder muscles. To a coach, it is moothing which comes with training, where as to a physicial, it is functional state of the body defined in technical terms. Fitness is for every body and not just for youth. This makes fitness every body’s business. It is a part of education but it is also a part of life. Everybody who wants to be fit needs to do exercise. The basic problem is that the human body is designed and constructed for movement and vigorous activity, not for rest and it functions more effectively when it is active. “Most people take better care of the automible than they do of their own bodies”. The old saying is “If you don’t use you lose it”. If people are to develop and maintain a desirable level of health and fitness, they must participate regularly in well - designed exercixe programme.
